Re: tabs in SeaMonkey 2.2 browser poorly designed

The active tab needs to be highlighted with a different color, so it's easy
to see. Firefox accomplishes this by making the active tab lighter, which
works fine. If there's any difference in SeaMonkey, I can't see it with my
CRT monitor. I realize that LCD monitors render grayscales better, but
SeaMonkey should take that into consideration. I've looked through the
settings and can't find any way to fix this, so presume it's built-in(?).

Apparently the only way to close a tab in SeaMonkey with the mouse is to
click the little x at the rightside of the tab bar, but it's too small to
hit easily  quickly with the mouse pointer. Also that's much less
satisfactory than having an x on each tab. Without an x on each tab, it's
necessary to first select a tab then click the x. Very cumbersome. Or am I
overlooking something obvious as a newbie? Yes, I'm aware of the keyboard
shortcuts affecting tabs, but I normally use a mouse for these operations.


Try a different theme? SeaMonkey Modern 2.2 makes the active tab lighter 
than the inactive tabs.


Right clicking brings up a menu that has Close Tab right at the top. I 
see no tiny x in the modern theme.


YMMV with SM portable.

Add to your userChrome.css:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]  .tab-close-button {
background-color: #88 !important;

This will hilite the active tab to blue. Dunno about making the X any

As I get older, I have somewhat the same problems - being able to

active tab a different color is far better than just making it lighter,
IMHO of course. Same goes for other buttons and such where opposing
colors can make all the difference.

I think you've missed my point. Most all need for sniffing is due to
the uninformed web authors who aren't aware of other browsers. In
nearly all cases, if these authors would write error-free pages/sites,
there would be no need for sniffing at all.

http://validator.w3.org/
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

It has nothing to do with feature introduced after MOSAIC.
Regarding keeping things pretty for modern browsers -- do you think
that the latest SeaMonkey is not a modern browser?

I also find that's it's become nearly impossible to identify the active tab in 
SM 2.1. This is a pretty big problem to me -- I hope a solution will be forthcoming!


OTOH, please keep the single x for closing tabs! It's one of the best features 
of SM, relative to IE and a few other browsers I occasionally use. If a user is 
having trouble locating a single x, imagine their trouble locating multiple x's 
on each tab!

Going from 2.0 to 2.2 would cause the places code to update the schema

.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover  .tab-close-button {

This will hilite the active tab to blue. Dunno about making the X any
larger.



I tried this on 2.0.14 and it works a treat!
 It's nice to have experts around.  Thanks Jay!

 Add this to your userChrome.css:

 /* Make the Search box flex wider */
 #search-container, #searchbar {
 width: 400px !important;
 }

 Change the 400px to whatever suits your needs.

Thanks, but I'm in over my head and am getting confused...

I found this reference and have read some of it:
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
I'm familiar with .html but never did anything with .css

I can make a userChrome.css file with a text editor, but I can't figure out
where to put it. It's supposed to go into a chrome folder in my SeaMonkey
profile folder, but there is no chrome folder therein. So do I create one?

That's for my fully installed SeaMonkey, which is quite different from my
portable installed SeaMonkey. The latter includes an example userChrome.css
file, a chrome folder, etc., which are entirely absent in the full install
SeaMonkey.

It's like the fully installed SeaMonkey 2.2 is missing something. Maybe it's
detecting and using part of the portable installation profile. Maybe I need

 The active tab needs to be highlighted with a different color, so it's easy

 works fine. If there's any difference in SeaMonkey, I can't see it with my
 CRT monitor. I realize that LCD monitors render grayscales better, but
 SeaMonkey should take that into consideration. I've looked through the
 settings and can't find any way to fix this, so presume it's built-in(?).

 
 On my screen, the currently selected tab looks significantly lighter 
 than the non-selected tabs.
 
 Additionally, if you hover your mouse over the tabs, small images are 
 displayed of the non-selected tab screens. Nothing is displayed when 
 hovering over the currently selected tab, because it is currently selected.

 Apparently the only way to close a tab in SeaMonkey with the mouse is to
 click the little x at the rightside of the tab bar, but it's too small to
 hit easily  quickly with the mouse pointer. Also that's much less
 satisfactory than having an x on each tab. Without an x on each tab, it's
 necessary to first select a tab then click the x. Very cumbersome. Or am I
 overlooking something obvious as a newbie? Yes, I'm aware of the keyboard
 shortcuts affecting tabs, but I normally use a mouse for these operations.

Seamonkey 2.1/2.2 breaking Java plugin support on Centos 5 Linux?

2011-07-11 Thread Alain Alain
I'm a long-time user of Seamonkey, from since it was called Mozilla.
The  recent 2.1 and 2.2 updates seem to have broken Java support on my  Centos 
5.5 box (32 bits) and I really can't figure this out.
Seamonkey is installed in /usr/local.
Starting  from 2.1, the /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins directory is gone. As per  
the release notes, plugins are now managed on a per-user basis in  
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins
So far, so good. I used to have a link in  /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins 
pointing 

to  /usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so (I install  
Sun's JREs in /usr/local too... it shows my BSD background I guess  )
So I moved that link to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins but now about :plugins doesn't 
show any Java plugin detected.
Worse, $HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey/profile name.default/pluginreg.dat shows that 
the plugin is rejected. It contains:
[INVALID]
/usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:$
1232187965000:$

I've tried with the new plugin found in 
/usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so too. Doesn't work either.

I  vaguely suspect that there might be a shared library issue with the  newest 
Seamonkey binaries and Centos 5.5, but then every other plugin  works OK, 
including Flash, Acrobat and all. So what's the issue with the Java  plugin? 
There's no error when I start Seamonkey from a terminal window.

Any help greatly appreciated, I must not be the only Seamonkey user on Centos 
5.5, or so I hope 

Thanks for your time,

Gecko dropped support for the OJI plugin. Don't know why the newer NPAPI
plugin doesn't work. Perhaps it's a 32 vs 64 bit issue or a path issue.

Sun's JREs in /usr/local too... it shows my BSD background I guess  )
So I moved that link to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins but now about :plugins doesn't
show any Java plugin detected.
Worse, $HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey/profile name.default/pluginreg.dat shows that
the plugin is rejected. It contains:
[INVALID]
/usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:$
1232187965000:$

I've tried with the new plugin found in
/usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so too. Doesn't work either.

I  vaguely suspect that there might be a shared library issue with the  newest
Seamonkey binaries and Centos 5.5, but then every other plugin  works OK,
including Flash, Acrobat and all. So what's the issue with the Java  plugin?
There's no error when I start Seamonkey from a terminal window.

Any help greatly appreciated, I must not be the only Seamonkey user on Centos
5.5, or so I hope

Thanks for your time,
_Alain_


I found a way to easily create a link to the java plugin.

Right-click on the file lbnpjp2.so and select create link, then I cut 
and past the link into .mozilla/plugins in my home folder on openSUSE.


The only difference is I have jdk1.6.0_26 installed in home and the path 
is jdk1.6.0_26/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp.so


At a loss if that is what you did and it's not working.

If you can, you really should update to Java version 1.6.0_26.

 Here's how the top of my SeaMonkey 2.2 browser screen looks:

 As you can see everything (all controls) is on a single toolbar, the 
 Menu
 Bar. That's exactly the way I want it, and it's very important to me! I
 have
 the same layout at top of browser screens in IE6, FF3.6.18, and
 customized
 FF5.

 There's only a slight problem with the SeaMonkey layout. I would like 
 to
 drag the left side of the search window to the left slightly, to make 
 it
 a
 little wider, but it won't resize. Putting a separator between the
 address
 window and search window doesn't help. My other browsers have this
 drag/resize (sliding) capability. Is there any way to do it in 
 SeaMonkey?

 [General comments: I'm a newbie with SeaMonkey, still trying to get my

 as
 my
 default browser - partly because I'm not happy with the direction

 is
 taking. But I'll have to play around with the mail/news window for 
 quite
 awhile to see if my old OE can be replaced. I was pleasantly surprised
 when
 I opened the address book window all my OE contacts were imported

 Thanks.

 Add this to your userChrome.css:

 /* Make the Search box flex wider */
 #search-container, #searchbar {
 width: 400px !important;
 }

 Change the 400px to whatever suits your needs.

 Thanks, but I'm in over my head and am getting confused...

 I found this reference and have read some of it:
 http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
 I'm familiar with .html but never did anything with .css

 I can make a userChrome.css file with a text editor, but I can't figure 
 out
 where to put it. It's supposed to go into a chrome folder in my SeaMonkey
 profile folder, but there is no chrome folder therein. So do I create 
 one?

 That's for my fully installed SeaMonkey, which is quite different from my
 portable installed SeaMonkey. The latter includes an example 
 userChrome.css
 file, a chrome folder, etc., which are entirely absent in the full 
 install
 SeaMonkey.

 It's like the fully installed SeaMonkey 2.2 is missing something. Maybe 
 it's
 detecting and using part of the portable installation profile. Maybe I 
 need
 to delete the portable installation...(?)

 You should already have the userChrome.css file, located in:

 C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application
 Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\your profile.slt\chrome

 Open the file and add the mod I provided by copy/paste
 
 Nope, it's not there. There's no chrome folder for SeaMonkey 2.2 at that 
 location, nor anywhere else. Firefox 3.6.18 doesn't have one either. That's 
 for the full-installed versions. Like I said before, only my portable apps 
 have a chrome folder...

Do you have hidden files and folders enabled in your Windows prefs?

actually try hard to keep all the extensions enabled, but you also have

the addon's page tells me:

8.0a1? ...

i also see no place in about:config to change user agent... is there a

i feel like i'm losing my mind here...



Try using the Seamonkey download page instead of the Firefox one:

SeaMonkey 2.2 and Firefox 5 are stable.


The SeaMonkey dev team has done an excellent job of creating a quality
product.  So in that sense, yes, SM is stable.  But what I meant by
stable in the context of forcing everyone still using their browser
to be alpha/beta testers is a release train with no new features -
just patches.


And those new features have already gone through alpha/beta testing and 
have been deemed ready for end-users.



Why in the world the Mozilla folk think going to a rapid release
system is going to win back their lost mindshare (FF usage: down.
chrome usage: up) is beyond me.


It has nothing to do with whatever you call mindshare, and more to do
with not letting unfinished features prevent other improvements (like
CSS animations) from getting out to users when they are ready.


I suspect there's  lot of SM users that would prefer to stay on the
same release train (eg. 2.2.x) and not upgrade to the next release
train until all of the addons they use have been updated to work work
with the new release train.  Even if it meant living without CSS
animations..


So your issue about add-on compatibility, not forking old releases, 
correct? In other words, if all your add-ons were compatible with SM 2.2 
when 2.2 was released, you wouldn't mind the rapid release, correct?

Why did you speak about stability when we see a too rapid changing.
I just intalled 2.1 because t was presented as the best, now 2.2 is the 
best, 2.3 is not far from 2.2, etc  should we consider 2.x changes
as minor release so we can jump from 2.0 to 2.1, or 2.2 or 2.3 or 2.4 or 
2.5 ? With a major release in 3.0 where perhaps we need to be in 2.5 
when we decided to go to 3.0 ... without the possibility to go from 2.0

Why did you speak about stability when we see a too rapid changing.


My original SeaMonkey 2.2 and Firefox 5 are stable statement was in 
response to Lee's statement that Mozilla is forcing everyone still 
using their browser to be alpha/beta testers by not keeping a stable 
version of the software supported.



I just intalled 2.1 because t was presented as the best, now 2.2 is the
best, 2.3 is not far from 2.2, etc  should we consider 2.x changes
as minor release so we can jump from 2.0 to 2.1, or 2.2 or 2.3 or 2.4 or
2.5 ?


More frequent release = less difference between releases.
But those differences are not restricted. Previously updates to 2.0.x 
would be restricted to security and stability fixes. API changes were 
not allowed until the next major release.



With a major release in 3.0 where perhaps we need to be in 2.5
when we decided to go to 3.0 ... without the possibility to go from 2.0
to 2.0 ?


I have no idea if there is a plan for SeaMonkey 3.0. One element of the 
rapid release cycle for Firefox is that version numbers are not marketed 
at all.

Sorry to say it, but the tabs in SeaMonkey 2.2 browser just aren't up to

The active tab needs to be highlighted with a different color, so it's easy
to see. Firefox accomplishes this by making the active tab lighter, which
works fine. If there's any difference in SeaMonkey, I can't see it with my
CRT monitor. I realize that LCD monitors render grayscales better, but
SeaMonkey should take that into consideration. I've looked through the
settings and can't find any way to fix this, so presume it's built-in(?).

Apparently the only way to close a tab in SeaMonkey with the mouse is to
click the little x at the rightside of the tab bar, but it's too small to
hit easily  quickly with the mouse pointer. Also that's much less
satisfactory than having an x on each tab. Without an x on each tab, it's
necessary to first select a tab then click the x. Very cumbersome. Or am I
overlooking something obvious as a newbie? Yes, I'm aware of the keyboard
shortcuts affecting tabs, but I normally use a mouse for these operations.


SeaTab X ( http://tom-cat.com/mozilla/seamonkey/extensions-seatabx.html 
) will place a closer X on the tab. It says it works with SM2.2. (If 
it doesn't, use the Compatibilty Reporter add-on ( 
https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

Re: Corrupt file

2011-07-11 Thread MCBastos
Interviewed by CNN on 11/07/2011 12:06, Gerald Ross told the world:
 I noticed a file named places.sqlite.corrupt.  Can this be safely 
 deleted?  It is much larger than the places.sqlite file.

Well, from what I understand this is what happens when Seamonkey is
unable to understand the places.sqlite file -- it gets renamed to
places.sqlite.corrupt and a new one is created from scratch. Meaning you
lost all your history, bookmarks and such.

One situation (it's not the only one) where this might have happened is
if you went back to Seamonkey 2.0 after testing Seamonkey 2.1 or 2.2 in
the same profile: the newer version add changes to the places.sqlite
database that the old version does not understand, and therefore
considers the file damaged.

If you DID go back to SM 2.0 at some point and are wondering what
happened to your old bookmarks, you MIGHT attempt to rename the
places.sqlite.corrupt back to places.sqlite to check if your old
bookmarks are there. But do back up the current places.sqlite file
before that.

You're overlooking the context menu, and overlooking what happens to users who
keep open many tabs in browsers with an X button on every tab. Imagine yourself
trying to hit the correct X if an X was on every tab in the above picture.

Add to your userChrome.css:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] .tab-close-button {
background-color: #88 !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover .tab-close-button {
background-color: #BB !important;
color: #fff !important;
}

This will hilite the active tab to blue. Dunno about making the X any
larger.

 First thing I do in every new FF profile is get the Xs off the tabs.

One feature of the Multizilla mega-extension I liked was the ability to
have the X and the site icon in the same space: it normally looked
like the site icon, but if you hovered the mouse over it it turned into
the X. It saved a lot of space on the tab bar.

Yes, some users might prefer to remove the icon entirely, leaving only
text. That's their choice. But I think that the x-when-hover is a nice
middle ground.

(Chrome went the other way, keeping the X but removing the site icon...
it's one of the things I don't like on it.)

 That's for my fully installed SeaMonkey, which is quite different from my

 It's like the fully installed SeaMonkey 2.2 is missing something. Maybe it's

 You should already have the userChrome.css file, located in:

 C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application

SM used to require the Chrome directory, so did create it automatically. That
ceased to be true several versions ago, as of SM2.0 IIRC. IOW, SM won't create
that dir itself, but will use any valid CSS it finds there.

 Open the file and add the mod I provided by copy/paste

FWIW, Chrome is also the home of any user CSS desired or required by the user,
but it's up to the user to create all of it.

 I'm surprised no one mentioned middle clicking a tab as method for
 closing it. I never used another method.
 Granted, not every mouse has a 3rd mouse button but nearly every.

Thanks for the tip! It works fine with Firefox too.

That's definitely the easiest way provided the spring on the 3rd mouse
button (a middle rollerwheel on my mice) isn't too strong. I've tried 2 mice
and one was OK, the other requires an extra strong fingerpress to click the
middle button. (It tends to roll rather than be clicked.) That will be one
of my criteria when I go mouse shopping next time.
